Jiang Ye cultivates within the Profound Light Hall, spending a year refining nearly ten thousand starglyphs for the Star River Divine Body. He also makes significant progress on his Five Great Mysteries and Two Great Laws. Emerging from seclusion, he finds his communicator vibrating.

"So much information?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.

Within the White Dragon Royal Court, they are completely isolated from the outside world and cannot receive communications.

Quickly.

Jiang Ye opened the communication device’s projection.

Whoosh~ A large amount of light converged, forming a screen in mid-air.

"Hmm?"

"A message from Li Qingyue?" Jiang Ye immediately noticed that Li Qingyue had tried to contact him multiple times half a month ago, with dozens of messages from her.

"Li Family?"

"What happened?" Jiang Ye slightly frowned.

Even if something happened to the Li Family, it should be the Li Family’s Demi-God looking for him, not Li Qingyue.

After all, although he and Li Qingyue had somewhat resolved their grievances, there was always a barrier between them.

Musing for a moment.

Jiang Ye dialed Li Qingyue’s number.

"Bzzt..." The call connected.

In the projected image, a beautiful woman with golden hair and golden eyes appeared, wearing a golden robe. Her demeanor was extremely cold, but upon seeing Jiang Ye, she became exceedingly respectful.

"What’s the matter?" Jiang Ye asked.

"Jiang Ye, there’s a clue about your mother’s case from back then!" Li Qingyue hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye’s expression changed.

He then remembered that he had previously asked Li Qingyue to find out the cause of his birth mother’s death... Li Qingyue had told him that his mother Li Qingyu’s death was very mysterious, having passed away due to a rare and severe illness.

"What clue?" Jiang Ye looked at Li Qingyue.

"Found in the Zhou Family."

Li Qingyue continued, "The Zhou Family’s Demi-God betrayed the Federation, and afterward, Alliance Leader Qi Tian ordered a thorough investigation of the entire Zhou Clan and sent our Li Family powerhouse to investigate."

Saying this, her gaze toward Jiang Ye grew more respectful.

Evidently, she already knew that the fall of the Zhou Family Demi-God was related to Jiang Ye.

"Continue," Jiang Ye said calmly.

"In the Zhou Family, we found many classified experimental records listed as top secret by them." Li Qingyue reported quickly, "All these experimental records pertain to Talent experiments."

"Talent experiments?" Jiang Ye’s eyes narrowed.

That sounds... familiar.

Oh, right.

Jiang Ye suddenly remembered, "The Talent Research Institute of the Divine Concealment Organization?"

Talent experiments have always been a forbidden topic within the Federation.

Any experiment related to Talent must be conducted on living subjects.

But for hundreds of years, Talent has been recognized as unchangeable, at least not with Blue Star’s current technological level, which cannot alter Talent.

For this reason, the Federation banned it a long time ago.

Only the Divine Concealment Organization has been conducting related experiments in secret all along.

"The Zhou Family is colluding with the Divine Concealment Organization?" Jiang Ye sneered, not very surprised.

After all, even the Zhou Family’s Demi-God betrayed them.

If the Zhou Family were clean, that would indeed be strange.

"Yes."

"It’s indeed related to the Divine Concealment Organization," Li Qingyue nodded, "Most of these Talent experiments are related to ’Talent Devouring.’

"This type of experiment aims to upgrade one’s Talent by continually devouring others’ Talents."

"In other words, as long as enough Talents are devoured, it’s possible to promote one’s Talent," Li Qingyue said.

"Devouring Talent?" Jiang Ye frowned.

Can Talent actually be devoured?

"According to the experimental records."

"They were actually close to success," a trace of trepidation appeared in Li Qingyue’s eyes, "Fortunately, at the last moment, you brought out a large number of Talent treasures, which disrupted their plans."

"Oh?" Jiang Ye’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He knew what Li Qingyue was afraid of.

If the ’Talent Devouring’ experiment succeeded.

The Zhou Family would undoubtedly become the top Extraordinary Family, surpassing all other noble families.

But this plan was thwarted by Jiang Ye.

"It seems I inadvertently did something that altered the course of history," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Then.

"Was my mother’s illness due to Talent experiments?" Jiang Ye asked Li Qingyue.

"Yes."

"Your mother, Li Qingyu, was a victim of Talent experiments," Li Qingyue said gravely, "At that time, their experiments were still not perfected."

"Why did my mother participate in such experiments?" Jiang Ye frowned.

"That’s unclear," Li Qingyue hesitated, "Maybe she was lured by something..."

Jiang Ye’s brow furrowed slightly.

His intuition told him there was more to this matter.

"By the way."

Jiang Ye suddenly recalled something, "Didn’t you say before that my mother’s death is related to the Chu Family?"

"...Yes," Li Qingyue lowered her head slightly, but this time seemed afraid to continue.

"Speak," Jiang Ye frowned.

Li Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, "The Chu Family also participated in the experiments."

Jiang Ye’s gaze turned cold, "Did the Alliance Leader order a thorough investigation?"

Talent experiments are clearly connected to the Divine Concealment Organization.

Since the Chu Family was involved, it suggests that someone in the Chu Family betrayed them!

Yet, this time, Li Qingyue hesitated, seeming reluctant to respond.

"What’s going on?" Jiang Ye frowned, "Just speak your mind, any responsibility falls on me."

Hearing this, Li Qingyue finally gritted her teeth and continued, "The Alliance Leader originally intended to conduct a thorough investigation."

"But on that day, an unimaginably powerful being descended on Blue Star, claiming to be a God from a second-level Starry Sky Civilization."

"And."

"That being took a liking to Chu Jingye of the Chu Family," Li Qingyue said quietly, "In front of everyone, they accepted him as a disciple."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ye’s expression immediately darkened.

A God from a second-level civilization?

"When did that God arrive?" Jiang Ye asked sternly.

"Just over twenty days ago," Li Qingyue responded truthfully.

Just as I thought!

A gleam flashed in Jiang Ye’s eyes. If his guess was correct, that God was the Military Governor from the Cangxu Civilization, Thunder Ash, whom he had encountered before.
